I'm an Anti Dentite


So today was my dreaded annual trip to the Dentist.  I don't know why I get worried about going to the Dentist.  I have only ever had one cavity.  I suppose one of the only gifts I was ever given is strong teeth.  I am always worried the Dentist will come in, after inspecting the X-Rays and say I have 5 cavities.  What I really hate most is the Hygienist who cleans my teeth.  I call her "The Marquis de Sade".  I don't call her that to her face of course.  I just think of it as she is torturing me with that damned metal pick of hers.  I really do think she enjoys inflicting pain on her patients because they didn't floss enough or didn't brush the correct way.  She politely smiles and says "Now that didnt hurt did it?"  In her evil mind she's thinking "Pain, Pain, Pain" for the Anti Dentite.  So now this evening my mouth feels like Napoleon's Army attacked it with bayonets drawn.  And after The Marquis de Sade was done torturing me with her metal pick, the Dentist finally came in.  He is a very genteel fellow, a total opposite of The Marquis.  He poked around in my mouth for about a minute and in a slightly disappointed tone he announced, "You don't have any cavities."


Now on a serious note.  A Dentist from Minnesota named Walter Palmer murdered a lion in Africa who was lovingly known to the locals as Cecil the Lion.  He apparently paid $50,000 and had 2 guides with him.  They used bait to lure Cecil outside the nature preserve where he lived.  He shot Cecil with a crossbow but that didn't kill him.  They tracked Cecil for 40 hours and finally found him and shot him to death with guns.  It makes me so angry I can't think of words to describe what a despicable act this was and what a loathsome person this individual is.  I wish he could be put into a cage with no weapons and several hungry lions and see what happens.  Or maybe he could be hunted by several men with high powered rifles with scopes and see how he likes it.  He is apparently wanted by the government of Zimbabwe for this shameful act and is now in hiding.  I sincerely hope he is found and deported there to face some kind of justice.  Unfortunately, this will not bring back Cecil the lion.  And lest we forget, every day millions upon millions of animals are murdered by humans, what a bunch of hypocrites we humans are.
